For the last decade, I have been writing blogs, frequently or occasionally. To me, writing is remembering, is to keep a record of my ideas, feelings and thoughts. I would like to keep the habit of reading and writing as a lifetime endeavor.
Before switching to GitHub, I was writing
at colorfulwe, a WordPress site
maintained by my friend Yechun. I
have been using it 5 years since moving fromBlogger. Thanks a lot to Yechun!
Almost every post I have written was also formatted in a local LaTeX
file, so that I can easily compile it into a PDF book. Switching to
GitHub, I can handle all these things with git
, emacs
, markdown
,
really convenient.
When Bilbo Baggins handed over the book of his adventure to Frodo Baggins, I saw peace from his elderly face. As prophesied byGaladriel: “Even the smallest person can change the course of the future.” We, ordinary people, at least, can live a meaningful life, if not gorgeous. If one day, when my son grows up, and come to me for answers, I hope that the records I have kept for years, will help.
